Looks good! Have you gotten to test it out yet? Anything you especially liked or would do differently next time?
Well the good news is it also fits onto my other bike   IMG_1724  IMG_1725  IMG_1726 The bad news is its very puffy without a center partition like my old bag had. Luckily I included some webbing on the inside to help support the webbing outside, meaning I can accessorise later or for now put a couple of clips inside to make the bag more skinny in the middle where my knee's and calfs pass. |

So, 10 hours of work so far and about and hour of fine tuning to go. Hopefully one day it will all go a little smoother and faster This is my second frame bag, this time I wanted something simpler and stronger because my sewing is far from 100% and I'm far from careful when using my gear.  image by Shane Cycles, on Flickr  IMG_1695 by Shane Cycles, on Flickr  IMG_1696 by Shane Cycles, on Flickr  IMG_1697 by Shane Cycles, on Flickr  IMG_1698 by Shane Cycles, on Flickr  IMG_1718 by Shane Cycles, on Flickr  IMG_1719 by Shane Cycles, on Flickr  IMG_1720 by Shane Cycles, on Flickr |

Nope, this is my new bike from the same stable. Meet Red, Mr Hyde has been retired to a single speed for now for commuting |

And here's another Dutch bike Next week I'm heading off for a couple of weeks on the Transandalusia with a set up like this( now with lighter dry bags). Built the bike up over Christmas and spent a lot of time sewing the last couple of weeks. This will be a kind of baptism by fire for the bike and my first bikepacking trip   IMG_0944 by shanecycles.com, on Flickr |

Yeh I agree, but the with a center zip I lost stiffness and the whole bag sagged more, this was Mk II . Hopefully as my sewing skills improve a possible Mk III will actually work @Jaybo The gap at the top was a great brainwave, its proving very useful already |

Hi folks, I've cycled a little here and there, usually on longer trips so usually travel quite heavy. I've seen and done most of the things I want to " touring" so now its time for some shorter trips closer to home that are more challenging. Time to see what this mountain biking and bike packing non-sense is about. Great to see that this is an active forum and lots of great tips and info knocking around. Thanks for your time and interest. I won't barge in with a blog plug, There's plenty of chance for that after my first " bike packing" trip next month  Tail winds and blue skies Shane |
